The Chief made several more notes. Any PTSD?McGee shook his head. The joke in our industry is that guys like Harvath don't get PTSD, they give it.
The Chief took diligent notes and inquired about PTSD, to which McGee responded negatively. This highlights a common perception within their field, suggesting that those who experience intense situations, like Harvath, are seen as having an impact on others’ mental health rather than suffering from their own trauma.
This perspective underlines a certain toughness expected in their line of work, where men like Harvath are viewed not as victims of psychological stress, but rather as formidable figures who leave an indelible mark on those around them. It reflects the complex dynamics of mental health in high-stakes environments.
